The Midwest Transmission Project involved the installation of a new 345kV transmission line in northeast Missouri and southeast Nebraska. The project extends approximately 180 miles from the substation located at Omaha Public Power District’s (OPPD) Nebraska City generating station to the substation located at KCP&L’s Sibley generating station. A 345kV switching station was also constructed south of Maryville, Missouri.

In addition, the scope of work requires: 345kV general upgrades, 115kV air insulated gear removals, replacement of a 115kV breaker, and 18 miles of underground cable upgrades to 34kV and 11kV circuits.

The new Salem Harbor Station is a 674-megawatt (MW) natural gas-fired, quick-start, combined-cycle electric generating facility on a 23 acre portion of the original 65-acre Salem Harbor Generating Station, a coal-fired generating plant site. It will produce and provide efficient, reliable, low-emission electrical power to the New England area, and support the introduction of new renewable resources to the energy grid.

Station 23 Underground Transmission Lines 943/944 and Circuit 806, New York

The Station 23 115kV Underground Transmission project provides another transmission source for the City of Rochester, consisting of the installation of 4.1 miles of a new 115kV underground transmission line between three substations, primarily installed in the city’s major streets.
